Asked By:minnesota10000 in Minnesota, MN

23 year old male- I had a mole removed from my upper lip area 2 years ago. They cut it out and stitched it up leaving a small indented symmetrical line as a scar. After 2 years the scar still becomes red and inflamed ALOT. It's not always red though. When I wake up in the morning my scar is completely white, but as the day goes on it becomes noticeably red..? And it still can become iirrated pretty easy.. What are my options to reduce redness in my scar? Would laser dye treatmet be the best thing? Thanks
